Emergent common functional principles in control theory and the vertebrate brain: A case study with autonomous vehicle control (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hussain, A., Gurney, K., Abdullah, R., & Chambers, J. (2008, September). Emergent common functional principles in control theory and the vertebrate brain: A case study with autonomous vehicle control. Presented at ICANN: International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks, Prague, Czech Republic

This paper describes emergent neurobiological characteristics of an intelligent multiple-controller that has been developed for controlling the throttle, brake and steering subsystems of a validated vehicle model. Simulation results demonstrate the e... Read More about Emergent common functional principles in control theory and the vertebrate brain: A case study with autonomous vehicle control.

A Conflict Tabu Search Evolutionary Algorithm for Solving Constraint Satisfaction Problems (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Craenen, B. G. W., & Paechter, B. (2008). A Conflict Tabu Search Evolutionary Algorithm for Solving Constraint Satisfaction Problems. In Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimization (13-24). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-78604-7_2

This paper introduces a hybrid Tabu Search - Evolutionary Algorithm for solving the binary constraint satisfaction problem, called CTLEA. A continuation of an earlier introduced algorithm, called the STLEA, the CTLEA replaces the earlier compound lab...

Boosting the Immune System (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McEwan, C., Hart, E., & Paechter, B. (2008). Boosting the Immune System. In Artificial Immune Systems (316-327). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-85072-4_28

Much of contemporary research in Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) has partitioned into either algorithmic machine learning and optimisation, or modelling biologically plausible dynamical systems, with little overlap between. Although the balance is la... Read More about Boosting the Immune System.

Scenarios for Companions. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Benyon, D., & Mival, O. (2008). Scenarios for Companions. In Austrian Artificial Intelligence Workshop, Vienna, September 2008 (1-38)

This paper is concerned with understanding the needs ofCompanion owners (the people formerly known as ‘users’) and in how thoserequirements can be represented, with the whole interaction design, with how the Companion will learn, or be instructed, so... Read More about Scenarios for Companions..

A new multicast algorithm for wireless mesh networks. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhao, L., Al-Dubai, A., & Liu, X. (2008). A new multicast algorithm for wireless mesh networks. In 9th Annual Postgraduate Symposium, The Convergence of Telecommunications, Networking and Broadcasting

Wireless mesh networks, also known as “community wireless networks”, have been attracting much attention due to its promising technology. It is becoming a major avenue for the fourth generation of wireless mobility. This is due to the revaluation of... Read More about A new multicast algorithm for wireless mesh networks..

Dialogue, speech and images: the Companions project data set. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wilks, Y., Benyon, D., Brewster, C., Ircing, P., & Mival, O. (2008). Dialogue, speech and images: the Companions project data set. In Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation

This paper describes part of the corpus collection efforts underway in the EC funded Companions project. The Companions project is collecting substantial quantities of dialogue a large part of which focus on reminiscing about photographs. The texts...

Immuno-engineering (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Timmis, J., Hart, E., Hone, A., Neal, M., Robins, A., Stepney, S., & Tyrrell, A. (2008, September). Immuno-engineering. Presented at IFIP 20th World Computer Congress, Second IFIP TC 10 International Conference on Biologically-Inspired Collaborative Computing, Milano, Italy

In this position paper, we outline a vision for a new type of engineering: immuno-engineering, that can be used for the development of biologically grounded and theoretically understood Artificial Immune Systems (AIS). We argue that, like many bio-in... Read More about Immuno-engineering.
